Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A short visit, but a great one. Welcomed by two lovely receptionists, yes two - now that is class. I did not get their names unfortunately.
Since time was short for me they recommended the wildlife photography exhibition. Great choice. It was stunning, but it ends soon, so don't miss out.
The 'terrible twosome' were warm and engaging, a good team and we even had time to have a laugh together! Full marks all round. I can't wait to go back.

I have an annual pass for the Beacon (which is extremely good value for money) and I regularly visit with my four year old niece. They have lots of different things to do for both children and adults and their forever changing exhibitions ensures that there is always something new to learn.

We came here primarily to watch a children's magician show but also had a look around the museum after. The magician show cost extra in addition to the ticket but we didn't mind this. The magician show was fantastic, really good for adults and children. The magician was very good and he involved the children in his tricks. You need to set aside plenty of time to visit the museum as it is larger than it looks. There is plenty to see and do in the museum and a lot is interactive. We enjoyed the temporary seaside exhibit.

A real hidden gem. A fabulous museum on several levels. All of the exhibitions are very well laid out. There is a lovely nod to the local Sellafield site and its' history.
During our visit there was a fantastic temporary display of the local textiles industry. It was great to see how companies like Kangol and Sekers flourished in the area.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.

We just went to see the West Cumberland Fashion Industry exhibition on the 4th floor. I wasn't impressed. The slide show was too fast - too fast to read the descriptions. A photograph from 1967 of Kangol production workers in Lowther Street showing off their berets (black/white photo). Yes, their 'best' clothing definitely encapsulated the era, with or without berets. BUT, these workers would be 70+ now, old eyes, not so mobile. Pointed out to us, as everywhere, lights have to be dimmed to protect exhibits. Accept, it has to be 'dark', however impossible to read the description cards with tiny print near to the back of the display cabinets, reflections don't help. Descriptive panels that one really had to bend down to read. Again, small print. Older visitors need to sit down - no portable seating as provided in so many museums. Was their any oral history - did I miss this? Who are these people who put these exhibitions together? We lived in Cleator for some years when the Kangol factory was still open. I felt the exhibition 'too dry'. Who is the exhibition intended to reach? The factory was in an historic building in a pleasant location and to go into the shop was to die for. Upside, when pointed out my problems in viewing the exhibits, staff did their utmost to assist. Last month visited the Weardale Museum, Ironshope, County Durham. Run by volunteers it clearly knew many of its visitors were older and the presentation of the exhibits were accessible. I hate to give a negative review.

Excellent museum with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shame about the awful coffee in the cafe below ( don’t know if the cafe is an integral part of the museum)

Great family trip for all ages.
I was there with a 2.5 year old, he absolutely loved it - fantastic range of interactive activities. He loved the seaside exhibition with sand pit & games, the foam building blocks in Sellafield & the video games. We will be back.

Great museum, interesting exhibits, friendly welcoming staff. We went on a quiet day so had the place virtually to ourselves. However, the cafe was a big disappointment. We were one of 3 couples in the cafe. Both us and another couple waited ages for our drinks, then when we chased for them got 'oh sorry I forgot to do them'. The tea was badly made, too much tea in the tea basket, unable to infuse and didn't reach the water. Coffee was undrinkable. Prices higher than I pay in London. I shudder to think what would happen if they got busy.

We went as a family to see the Star Wars exhibition in the beacon museum, and had lunch near the museum. It is best to book in advance it gets busy.

Being a museum the only four legged friends that can come into the museum are assistance dogs.
